I have so much things I want to do - I want to volunteer yet the admin hasn't responded to my email when I sent it a few months ago.
I want to work but I am just unable to make the steps. I am so confused about life, about my status in it. Am I high status because I feel great potential inside, or is it low status because in action I just hardly do anything..?
I feel depressed. I've been on 4-hour sleeps for about 4 days due to jet-lags after being abroad.
I really don't know what I'm gonna do with myself, I don't know what is the right way for me to live.

I'm 62 years old and I still don't know what I want to do with my life
you may roll your eyes and think "well Gee, thanks a hell of lot for that happy note."
But as I look back on my life, yea I always had doubts, fears, and questions. The only time I moved forward was when I realized that not doing anything is also a decision. I got out there and took risks, experimented. As in hmmm.... well that job sucked, time to try something new. Ok, zip lining wasn't nearly as fun as I thought it would be. Oh hey, turns out I'm really good at computers, let's see where this takes me.
Fear of failing holds many of us back. But trying something and finding out that you don't like it or are just not good at it doesn't mean failure. You've learned something about yourself. It's a journey of exploration.
